It's New Year's Eve in New York City, on Four- teenth street, at The Academy of Music. The BAND is about to share the last day of the year with us. We know their music. We know that they were once The Hawks. That they worked with Dylan for several years. That they've been together for eleven years. We know the historic Big Pink; their masterpiece, The Band; their 1971 autobiography on record, Stage Fright; and the experimental Cahoots. We know they are Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson. The BAND live on the eclipse of a new year is especially fitting since all those other people who are in bands today were home listening to The Big Beat on their radios when The Hawks were out there playing it. They were one of the origi- nal "live" bands. They were the Sons of the Teenage Pioneers of Rhythm and Blues, Country and Western, and Rock and Roll. This New Year's Eve the group has chosen to sum up their years of music as The BAND by performing some of the rock 'n roll classics con- tained in their known albums, and a lot of songs they've never recorded. The concert gives them all a breath of new life, a feat due in no small part to the monster horn charts devised by in- novative arranger, Allen Toussaint. This spontaneous audience -participating con- cert, with Toussaint's New Orleans' influenced horn section recreating the familiar songs as freshly and startlingly alive as the new, is a true musical event that we can share via this two - record set. This album is another further step in The Band's development. In the development of our music. The music of our age. This is ROCK OF AGES.
